Parker looks to get career back on track with hometown Bulls

Jabari Parker recalled playing on the court with the Chicago Bulls' logo as a young child. It was at the James Jordan Boys and Girls Club where his dad was a supervisor and not the nearby United Center. "It was like our United Center, that gym," he said.19 Jul @ 8PM

The Chicago sunlight followed Jabari Parker as he walked through the East Atrium doors of the United Center, facing Michael Jordan's statue before meeting with the media, introduced as a Chicago Bull for the first time. Parker re-enters Chicago as the No. 2 pick in the draft that the Milwaukee Bucks allowed to walk without compensation despite holding the cards through restricted free agency, damaged goods on the floor but not giving the Bulls a discount to don that white, red and black jersey he's always dreamed of wearing. "There were other teams but as soon as I heard Chicago, I just jumped on it," Parker said.19 Jul @ 2PM
